Airport Advantage Rolling Carry-On Camera Bag

As I age I find it harder to lug even 20 lbs of gear when rushing through airport and train terminals. I check-in the clothes but like most photographers I'm not letting my gear out of my sight. I have a number of Think Tank bags (Speed Series and Retrospectve 7) and accessories. They're all great products but my upcoming trip calls for 8 tranfers between planes, boats, and trains so I wanted something with wheels. This little gem arrived today and I couldn't be happier. It looks smaller than reported (but isn't). The quality is Think Tank Tough. The custom handle does not take up space in the bottom half of the case but cleverly folds into itself. The wheels are robust and quiet.! Padding is high tech. There's a diagram demonstrating how to properly use the included rain cover. Two things that would make it even better woulds be a zippered pouch on the inside of the lap top cover for passports, tickets, etc, and a sleeve on the back to allow this bag to slip over the handle of a larger bag. If it zipped on the bottom like an REI roller I own, it could also be used for maps, etc. I haven't used it yet but I'm confident it will be as good as all my other Think Tank products. I packed it today and It easily holds my Fuji X-T2, 35mm, 16-55, 50-140, power grip and charger, and the usual misc extras with room left over. Based on other reviews and my own flight experiences I'm pretty sure this will tuck in beneath the airplane seat. Worst case, it will easily fit up above. Just returned fron the trip I mentioned above. The roller performed flawlessly. Fit under the seat of both large and regional planes, as well as under the seat of Via Canada train (business class). Definitely a keeper!

A lot of cameramen are ok with checking their camera gear. I'm not, but I fly out of a smaller airport with regional size planes with the smallest overheads. This fits, so I now no longer get in arguments with gate agents and flight attendants who want me to put my expensive camera and lenses in the belly of the plane. That happened a lot with my former bag that technically fit if I packed it just right and removed the wheel carriage which I still had to gate check and wait for. I can pack all my lenses and a large DSLR. A little tight in small overhead with laptop but I can easily pull that out if needed. I've had it more than a year and its well made. No tears or anything. Strong zippers and material. Extra deep section for camera body. Well designed. Packs a lot gear for its small size. Pricey yes for what looks like a basic roll on but its worth it. Has made traveling by air less stressful.

Mostly I love this case. I ordered it for a photo shoot in Alaska. I've had some back problems and wanted something other than the backpack camera cases I had been using. What's good: Holds a lot of equipment. Partitions are easy to arrange - sort of (see below). Rolls easily. Fits in overhead storage easily. Better for my back definitely. What's no so good: Has a tendency to fall over forwards. Not enough padding in computer compartment. Two large partitions are really not configurable. Not inexpensive. Backpacks are better for hiking and rough terrain etc. All in all this is my favorite camera travel case so far. Addendum: Now back from my first field test. Everything worked as expected. Rolled around several airports while changing gates. No problem with overhead bins - fits easily. My shoot involved several hours out on a frozen lake. I took a smaller bag. Not possible to roll this one in snow and ice. Not a problem as I had factored this into my plans. Still a little wary of lack of padding for computer. However, the computer pouch is roomy and you can accommodate books or magazines etc. TSA friendly (I use pre-check). Passed through with no questions. All in all a very good product.

just traveled with this bag- bought it for a birding trip that required regional jets (well, I live in Boise, so most every trip includes at least one regional jet). it fit in the overhead, no problem. Packed 2 DSLRs with lenses attached (one with grip), a 200-500 and miscellaneous other items. I know that I can refine my packing and fit more accessories as needed. rolls nicely. it was tippy with my laptop backpack perched on top, but that can be worked around. Also great for packing gear in & out of hotel rooms. It's sturdy and well made and I anticipate a long happy relationship.

Fantastic camera bag! I was worried it might be too small but it holds a lot of gear. The roller bag is very well made with excellent wheels, retractable handle, carry handles and large rugged zipper. The bag is light weight compared to the pelican roller case I had been using. The Pelican case weighed 13 pounds and this bag is less than 6 pounds. With a camera body and two lenses it stilled weighed less than the empty pelican case. It fits in small regional type planes overhead as well. No worries that I will be separated from my gear. This is the first item I have purchased from Think Tank and it has made me a fan!

I got this bag for my 2 week Japan trip. Previously, I would fill up my camera bag, and put my entire camera bag in a carry-on luggage. Figured it's just easier to just bring a dedicated camera carry-on. This one is meant to be small, and compliant with all airlines, even tiny regional planes. It is SMALL compared to a traditional carry-on. Only get this luggage if you absolutely need to due to small plane restrictions. My recommendation is to get the larger ones that are still carry-on compliant for domestic and international. My biggest complaint of this bag is how the handle requires space inside the bag. The bottom of bag (when laying it down and opened), would have a nice flat surface. HOWEVER, the center of the surface is elevated to accommodate the retractable handle. Basically, some of the areas will have an uneven surface. My lens does not stand completely, it's tilted because part of the surface is lower than the other. I HATE IT SO MUCH. Also, there's an exterior pocket, meant to hold your laptops. It has absolutely no padding/protection whatsoever. Expect your gear to get damaged by accidental bumps. Or even when your bag falls over. It would have been great to have an exterior pocket with some organization to hold pens, and other things. I wish the exteriors of the luggage had more padding. Yes, it's a carry-on, but there might be that chance I'm forced to check it in. I'd feel a bit better knowing it's a very well padded luggage. If I check-it in, I 100% guarantee my gear is breaking. The wheels are fairly smooth and work great. I'm likely returning this and purchasing the XT or another bigger version.

For my money, Think Tank makes the best cases: Period. They're clearly designed by photographers. I used this to carry my kit to the Galapagos where there are weight limits for carry-on bags. Many/most wheeled bags are quite heavy when empty. This one is very light, but offers excellent protection, so I was able to fill it with 3 bodies, 4 lenses, waterproof camera housing, GoPro, extra batteries, charger, straps, cleaning supplies, etc. and still didn't go over the weight limit (my equipment is micro 4/3 so that helped). It's also easy to lift into the overhead compartment and will even fit in the overhead of smaller regional planes. It's a nearly flawless design - one minor point is that the exterior front flap doesn't have a secure catch - just velcro, so don't put anything heavy in the exterior pouch - I used it for camera straps. You absolutely NEVER want to check your camera bag, so this is a perfect choice for those trips where photography is a major activity and you want a lot of gear with you. Well done Think Tank.

This is the worse case I have ever bought. The wheels do not spin, they only roll straight no spinner wheels. Very awkward to roll with other suit cases at airport. I do not recommend this product. For as much money as I paid., they could put better wheels on this bag.

Der Fototrolley sieht recht schick aus, ist funktionell und sehr robust. Er ist tatsächlich mit der leichteste Fototrolley auf dem Markt (laut meiner eigenen Recherche im März 2018). Er wiegt rund 1100 g weniger als mein "alter" Fototrolley "Matin Flyby 350". Die Rollen laufen super leicht und machen auch auf Pflastersteinen kaum Ablaufgeräusche (sind aus Gummi/ Silikon, kein Hartplastik!). Ich habe sehr viel Equipment darin für die Reise unterbringen können ( 2 Systemkameras mit angesetzten Objektiven, 3 zusätzliche Objektive, diverse Filter, Batteriegriff, Akkus, Speicherkarten, 1 Blitz, Fernauslöser...) Aufgrund seiner kompakten Maße passt er auch sehr gut in die oberen Gepäckablagen von kleineren Regionaljets! (hatte ihn in einer Bombardier Dash Q400 mit an Bord) Ich kann den Trolley wirklich nur wärmstens empfehlen!

Dos melhores trolley's de fotografia do mercado, recomendo

I received this bag today and a NikonZ9 with 100-400mm lens plus a Z7ii with 24-70 fit snugly in this bag. Also, a Nikon Monarch 7x40 binocs and a 14in laptop make up my other equipments for travel. The total weight is around 8.5 kg and I am extrmely happy. I find that whatever be the bag, the zipper should be of good quality and in this instance, Think Tank has provided YKK zippers like my ealrier bulky Think Tank airport security stroller bag (5.5kg). After I gave up using a 600mm f4 lens the heavy bag became redundant! I am sure this purchase will be of great use during my travels!

One of the best bags you can buy. Like a tardis and gets on to almost any plane easily. My go-to bag, every trip!

Önce eksileri: Ön laptop gözü kumaş sadece, sert bir malzemeyle desteklenmediğinden laptoplarınız darbelere açık tek sevmediğim yönü bu oldu. İç makinenizi koyduğunuz yerler ise taş gibi korumalı ve gayet yeterli bir hacim sunuyor. Çekçek kolu, ve lastikler sağlam gözüküyor kendini ispat etmiş bir marka olduğundan beni üzeceğini düşünmüyorum. Fiyat pahalı derdim ama alternatifleriyle karşılaştırınca gördümki en uygun fiyatlı çekçekli valiz bu. O sebeple fiyat performans ürünü denilebilir. Tek eksisi var ama öyle büyük bir eksiki o da dediğim gibi ön korumasız laptop gözü sırf bu büyük eksi bana bir yıldız kırdırttı korumasız koymayın laptopınızı, tabletinizi. Bi çarpma bile yamultur laptopı.
